Latest Patents
Naor Inbar holds a patent for a technology titled "Deep implant self-aligned to polysilicon gate." This patent describes a CMOS image sensor that includes a pinned photodiode and a transfer gate. The design utilizes a thick mask that is self-aligned to at least one edge of the polysilicon gate structure. This alignment facilitates the formation of a deep implant and ensures proper alignment between the photodiode implant and the gate. In one embodiment, a drain side implant is formed concurrently with the deep n-type implant of the photodiode. After the deep implant, the mask is removed, and a shallow p+ implant is formed to complete the photodiode. In another embodiment, the polysilicon is etched to define only a drain side edge, followed by a shallow drain side implant. A thick mask is then used to complete the gate structure and is retained during the subsequent high-energy implant. Alternatively, the high-energy implant can be performed prior to the shallow drain side implant.
